I have searched and searched and can not find anywhere where someone has done the dual alternator set up with serpentine belt without A/C and without vacuum pump. Questions! Can I take the pulleys off of 6.5 alternators and put them on the military dual 6.2 alternators without a tensioner...

I have not tried Ultra Black or the Right Stuff. When I pull motors apart with Ultra Black on I usually see leakage. The black stuff seems to have more elasticity to it. When Ultra Blue cures, it turns into more of a harder compound. Also I notice it is a lot easier to remove parts off a motor...

So I took off the 1995 6.5 Single Thermostat crossover from the other spare motors and removed the old gasket with a razor blade, wire wheel and brake cleaner. Also cleaned up the threads on the bypass fitting. Then added a thin layer of RTV on both the cross over and block. With the 6.5 cross...

While mocking up the dual thermostat crossover I noticed a few things. If I turn the inlet passenger side, it will be in the way of the throttle position sensor. Turning driver side, even with a custom bracket made, I’ll lose the high idle solenoid. Honestly, I don’t want to lose those. I live...

I have used this method of finger painting many times! It is a very thin layer of RTV and has proven time and time and again that it works! I never had any leaks... Ever. This method really helps fill in the imperfections and pitting. Some may disapprove but IDC. When putting on the pump I put...

Using thread lock on all the bolts except the 4 that need RTV. After the timing plate is installed, I decided to put in the injection pump. Don’t forget the inner plate! Injection pump is now on! So easy! Now let’s do some more finger painting! Add the gasket... Finger paint the pump and...

Test fitting the timing plate to the block. You can see a big gap between the oil pan and timing cover. I will need to put a gasket in that location. Also there are only 4 bolts that require some rtv on the ends of them. Here is picture of 2 locations on timing cover. I put arrows on the block...

Lol! I put them there to keep the zombies away!

Truth be told! I only spend 15-60 minutes a day working on the motor. That is why it is taking so long with the exception of waiting on parts. I ordered a 9 blade Duramax fan and Hayden Fan Clutch. Getting ready for my first day off for the week tomorrow, I wire brushed the pumps bolts and put...

You know when you are a pack rat when you have too many water pump gaskets... Lol! What do you guys think? Felpro or Mahle?

After work I picked up the timing cover crank seal and put it in the freezer when I got back to the house. Then I washed the timing cover in soap and water. Mainly focusing on the seal area. After it was cleaned, I let it sit in hot water for 10 minutes. Using the Wife’s favorite towel as a...

Few more pics... All cleaned up! Not bad for my first port job ehh? Yes I will be using a gasket and rtv between the pump and pump plate but no gasket for the timing cover. And in this picture you will see the gap between the pump and the pump plate. The plate is bent a little. Because of this...

The first thing I did was stuff the pump with paper towels and bolted the pump plate on without gasket or rtv. This prevents shavings going into the pumps seals. With the pump plate on, I used a black sharpie and marked the areas that needed to be ported. Heres pictures with the plate off...

For this experimental water pump upgrade, I would first like to talk about the PPE! Must haves! Leather Gloves (Prevents metal slivers in hands) Air tight goggles (Prevents slivers going in eyes) Respirator (Prevents breathing in metal particles and toxic gas from Carbide) Cheap painters suit...

Hmm. Thanks for sharing!

Nice! Can we all get an E for effort? Lol! Alternator wire... Was not expecting that one!

Wow! Sounds like an exact problem I had 2 years ago! It ended up being the fuel filter and small air leak that was sucking in not out. Damn near impossible to find it until I blew compressed air into the tank:) 14k on the IP... hmm. Try fixing the obvious first before dropping loads of cash...

Sure! It is nice to see others ideas.

Waiting on parts... I have the water pump, aluminum crank pulley and now the timing plate crank seal on its way. It is getting very cold up here in Montana. Over the next couple of days it will be dropping down to -11 degrees at least. Not really excited about that! The rest of the day I am...
